Vish (Ishaya) Abrams

1/ I got nerd-sniped by a C++ compiler course 13 years ago and quit when the next step turned into a tedious parser refactor. A few months ago I handed the old code to Codex. It finished the refactor in about an hour.

@jessfraz I’m continually impressed with how persistent codex will be with a well defined task with a clear tracker. I’ve seen multiple 24h+ loops. So yeah, autist grey beard resonates.

had to use claude today and here are my observations: - claude is intern you just want to stop being stupid and listen - codex is autist grey beard you love but people (NOT ME) thinks should be more chill, but me, i love its intensity

9/ I wrote the whole thing up in four parts, including the repos if you want to run your own agent through the suite: @vishvananda/i-spent-2-billion-tokens-writing-a-c-compiler-so-you-dont-have-to-d3e4eec4781e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@vishvananda/i…

8/ My current read: agents handle tedium well. They also take the easy path. Humans need contracts and gates that make that path land in the right place.

AI tools are changing the development landscape, with developers acting more as directors than manually writing every line. Listen to this @software_daily podcast to learn more from Chief Architect @vish on #AI tools and the “vibe coding” techniques. bit.ly/3EHx39s

Heroku has an mcp server! youtu.be/7udDus8zv-g?si… Anyone up for “vibe operating”?

Amazing conversation with @SavIsSavvy and @pnashawaty . Thanks for having me!

@Graysonnosyarg Your caustic moon work wasshared with me by @jakedahn. I was hoping to start on a caustic project but I have not had time. Would you be interested in producing 10-20 copies of a caustic image for me? Feel free to message me privately for details.
